“While Wisconsin citizens should celebrate this victory for free speech today, we shouldn’t back down. We must get answers and do all that we can to rebuild this broken system so that no one can find a means to undermine free speech again.”

The new two-year spending plan increases aid to K-12 schools, freezes UW tuition, fully funds SeniorCare, fights fraud and abuse in government programs, and freezes property taxes. This budget is good for Wisconsin and you.

Speaker Vos: Statement on Act 10 Ruling

Act 10 upheld in its entirety. A Dane County judge made a political, not a legal, decision.

Madison…Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement on the federal court ruling on Act 10.

“Today’s federal court ruling confirms what we’ve known all along: Act 10 is constitutional. What we’ve seen in this case--and with so many others before it--is that a liberal Dane County judge made a political, not a legal, decision.”

“These reforms have played an important role in balancing budgets at the state and local levels.I encourage those who have not utilized these tools to begin incorporating them to the benefit of taxpayers.”
